Many times throughout the past year when my family was struggling to make some sense out of this terrible disease I would turn to Amy's journal and reread her past inspirational posts and follow the current happenings in their journey. As many of you already know John lost his battle with this terrible disease this past week. I wanted to post a special tribute to John and Amy, may your love story continue forever. What special people you are....you have touched so many lives through your postings on this board. We will continue to keep you and your family in our prayers. Kim
